I teach a class of 21 energetic 4th grade children with diverse abilities, needs and interests. My school is a part of a small school district in a rural area.

My vision for my classroom is that it is a culture of inquiry. Students are engaged in seeking answers to essential questions and their own questions. I want to implement a unit I've created that was inspired by The 10 series, published by Scholastic. Aligned to grade level content-area standards, THE 10 is a collection of exciting titles that combine a variety of text features and genres to motivate and educate all students, including striving and reluctant readers. The 10 title, The 10 Most Deadliest Predators on Land , will serve as an anchor text as students learn about reading, researching, and writing nonfiction text. The culminating product is the Top Ten wiki collaboratively authored by the students. Small groups will each contribute a section to the wiki that presents, through multimedia (Voki, Voicethread, hypertext, and video), what the students believe to be the 10 most dangerous, funniest, ugliest, strangest, etc. animals. Their ranked 10 will be determined based on a list of criteria that the group draws up. Students will apply their newly acquired knowledge of nonfiction text as they present the data and reasoning from their investigation to support their choices for the 10.

My students need at least one Netbook to be able to use when they need it rather than wait for a time that our class can use the computer lab or laptops.

Your donation will make it possible for my students take part in this exciting project. You will help me create the 21st century learning environment that our schools need to meet the needs of today's learners.
